3yr Olds eligible to fly International

NEW DELHI: The eligibility norms for airlines seeking to fly abroad are all set to be relaxed. The government is planning to ease the entry condition to a minimum of three years of domestic operations from five years at present.

Low-cost carrier Air Deccan may be the first to make use of the relaxed norms since it has already completed three years in August 2006. It is expected to retain the existing low-cost model for foreign destinations as well.

The government’s proposal follows heavy lobbying from the domestic airline industry, which has been demanding easier norms for foreign operations. Airlines like Kingfisher, SpiceJet and Air Deccan have shown interest in expanding their operations to foreign destinations.

“The idea of allowing private airlines to fly overseas is to enable strong competition to foreign carriers,” a civil aviation ministry official said. The changed norms will kick in with the new civil aviation policy, which is likely to be put in place by January 2007.

Air Deccan has already drawn up plans to fly to countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Maldives. “We will fly to countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Maldives immediately after the government relaxes its present norms,” Air Deccan MD GR Gopinath told ET.

I don't think they can complain too much given the limited nature of their intl ops even right now. They don't seem keen to aggressively expand international ops, and S2 does not even have a/c on order.

As per Boeings website S2 have ordered 10 a/c this year and ACAS shows this total  as 20 a/c, can't access previous orders. http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm


Out of the fear of losing domestic share 9W & S2 never mounted a strong Intl ops, deploying most of the seats on domestic in the hope of drying the competition. And then most of the shuttle traffic to SE is from MAA, where these 2 don't have much of a prescence.


If allowed to operate to the gulf S2 will move nearly 50% of its seats on this route.  Mangalore, Cochin, Calicut, Trivandrum, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Goa, Trichy Each of these cities can have a dedicated aircraft B738 operating to the gulf back and forth.

IMO relaxing this rule will reduce airlines' concentration on domestic and increase in intl. routes. This might be undesirable to the passengers
